The stunning large photographs in this book, up to 23 x 11 1/2 inches, offer sweeping views and also super close-up images of the animal kingdom. Among the captioned images here you'll find an armadillo braving twilight traffic on a Texas highway; a bee with a microchip installed on its back, reporting its every journey; two dogs on a Portuguese beach, exhibiting "synchronous behavior" by doing the same thing at the same time; a one-day-old mouse seen some 80 times its actual size, naked and colorless yet still able to yawn; and the fascinatingly creepy sight of a tarantula shedding its skin.
